There are a number of licenses available for Spotfire, and each license contains a number of features. If a user has a certain license enabled she will get access to all the features therein. However, the administrator can explicitly disable some of the included features of a license.
Licenses are only assigned to groups, never to individual users.
Licenses are inherited. A group that is a member of a parent group will automatically inherit all the enabled licenses from that parent group, and so on further up through the group hierarchy. For an individual user, the enabled licenses are the grand total of all the groups he is a member of, both explicitly and via inheritance.
For more information and examples explaining how Spotfire licenses are inherited, please see How do Licenses work?
For more information on the actual licenses, please see Description of Groups and Licenses.
To set the licenses for a group:
Select a group from the Available groups list.
In the right hand pane, click the Licenses tab.
Response: The "Licenses" interface is displayed.
Click the Edit button next to the field.
Response: The "Licenses for group" dialog is displayed.
Click the + or - signs to expand/collapse the different licenses, and see the features underneath.
Select or clear the check boxes you want to change, and click OK when done.
